Lily Allen asks for the pop crown in the video for her new track ‘Sheezus’.
The ‘Hard Out Here’ singer, who is about to release her new album ‘Sheezus’ after a four-year hiatus, appears in the new promo for the title track under a blue light, wearing a hoodie and gold chain with glowing eyes, as she sings about wanting to be number one in the pop world.
In the video, she gives a shout out to her fellow female pop stars, including Lorde, Rihanna and Beyonce, singing: "Riri isn’t scared of Katy Perry’s roaring/ Queen Bey’s gone back to the drawing/Lorde smells blood, yeah/ She’s about to slay you/ Kid ain’t one to f**k with when she’s only on her debut."
Lily adds: "Second best will never cut it for the divas/ Give me that crown b**ch/ I wanna be Sheezus."
She also describes Gaga as a "martyr" and talks about the difficulties of staying ahead of the rest in the music industry, singing: "I’ll take the hits, with the punches/ I’ll get back up/ It’s not as if I’ve never done this/ Then again, the game is changing/ Can’t just come back jump on the mic and do the same thing."
Lily adds: "Wish me luck/ I’m gonna need it/ I’ll see you on the other side if I’m still breathing."
Lily’s new album ‘Sheezus’ is out on May 5 via Regal Recordings.
